OVERVIEW

Discover how focusing on different types of music that exist in the world can enrich lives and learning.

Initiate an understanding of music in general by attending live, or watching online, a minimum thirty-minute concert or performance and then listening to similar music selections. Nourish a deeper understanding of your music choices by analyzing the music’s origins, how you feel when you listen to it, and what about it gives you that feeling. Apply this deeper understanding of music’s influence to work as a tool that can support learning in your classroom.
